[Suggestions for Catchy, Witty, Jazz and Blues]

Check out Madeleine Peyroux - she's been called the Billy Holiday of  her generation...

Good One, thanks. :good job: I like her Dreamland CD and the song called "Muddy Water."

I found another artist too:

Her name is Jennifer Barber. I think she is half Hawaiian. Anywayz, I like the songs "no swimmin" and "you gotta know how."

She kinda sounds like Norah Jones to me:

love Norah method:

Well, I tried the AllAboutJazz web site with the same question and got only two replies.....not a very helpful group. <_>

Anywayz, I found a cool web site that has good suggestions on artists that I've never heard of before, which is exactly what I like

Hope this helps those who are always on the hunt for something new:
